The Alkaline Body and pH Balance

Posts Tagged ‘Health Challenges’

Heavy Metal Toxicity is one of those health challenges that goes largely untested and untreated by main stream allopathic medicine. IT is becoming an increasingly important piece of information to be aware of in our increasingly toxic environment.

We live in a toxic world. Every day we are exposed to thousands of toxic metals and chemicals, such as mercury, lead, aluminum, food additives, pesticides, industrial waste, the list goes on.

Heavy metal poisoning and chemical toxicity leads to the accumulation of toxins in our tissues and organs causing nutritional deficiencies, hormonal imbalances, neurological disorders, and, can even lead to autoimmune disorders and other debilitating chronic conditions.

Testing by the Environmental Working Group found an avege of 48 chemicals while testing 5 different women living  in different locations across the country. It found, in the aggregate, traces of 48 chemicals in the women, notably flame retardants (used to treat some furniture and clothing), synthetic fragrances (from body care products and perfumes), the plastics ingredient Bisphenol A (found in bottles, canned food liners and other products) and the rocket fuel perchlorate (which has been found in some drinking water). The findings made concrete the suspicion that all Americans are being exposed to a daily brew of toxins that advocates now call our chemical “body burden”.

What is Bentonite? What is montmorillonite?

A VOLCANIC DETOXIFIER—Bentonite, a medicinal powdered clay which is also known as montmorillonite, derives from deposits of weathered volcanic ash.

EBN™ (Evenbetternow) Bentonite Clay is a 100% pure pharmaceutical grade bentonite clay.

It is one of the most effective natural intestinal detoxifying agents available and has been recognized as such for centuries by native peoples around the world. Whatever the name, liquid clay contains minerals that, once inside the gastrointestinal tract, are able to absorb toxins and deliver mineral nutrients to an impressive degree, says Knishinsky. Liquid clay is inert which means it passes through the body undigested.

Technically, the clay first adsorbs toxins (heavy metals, free radicals, pesticides), attracting them to its extensive surface area where they adhere like flies to sticky paper; then it absorbs the toxins, taking them in the way a sponge mops up a kitchen counter mess.

There is an electrical aspect to bentonite’s ability to bind and absorb toxins, the clay’s minerals are negatively charged while toxins tend to be positively charged; hence the clay’s attraction works like a magnet drawing metal shavings. But it’s even more involved than that.

How does it work?

Clay provides the body with an impressive assortment of minerals, including calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium, manganese, sodium and silica – all alkalizing to the blood and tissues. The minerals exist in natural proportion to one another, which encourages their absorption by the intestinal villi. The human body can tolerate a deficiency of vitamins for a longer period of time than it can tolerate a deficiency of minerals. In fact, a slight change in the blood concentration of minerals can rapidly endanger life.

When bentonite absorbs water and swells, it is stretched open like a highly porous sponge; the toxins are drawn into these spaces by electrical attraction and bound fast. In fact, according to the Canadian Journal of Microbiology (31 [1985], 50-53), bentonite can absorb pathogenic viruses, aflatoxin (a mold), and pesticides and herbicides including Paraquat and Roundup. The clay is eventually eliminated from the body with the toxins bound to its multiple surfaces.

Clay’s adsorptive and absorptive qualities may be the key to its multifaceted healing abilities. Knishinsky reports that drinking clay helped him eliminate painful ganglion cysts (tumors attached to joints and tendons, in his case, in his wrist) in two months, without surgery.

pH balance and it’s effect on weight loss is a well know mechanism. As  is well known, America has become one of the heaviest countries in the world, as Americans continue to have more and more health challenges. At present 2/3 rds of all Americans are overweight. pH balance can play a major factor in the body becoming more and more overweight.

Our bodies are constantly self-regulating to maintain balance. In the same way that our bodies maintain a body temperature of 98.6, they also strive to maintain pH balance. The pH of the blood needs to be maintained at 7.365, slightly alkaline. A major challenge to our bodies is the SAD diet or standard American diet which is 90% or more consisting of acidic foods. A condition called metabolic acidosis begins to occur.

When our bodies start developing metabloic acidosis it is a threat to it’s well being. So our bodies go into preservation or protection mode. One of it’s actions is to deposit the toxic acids into fat tissue becasue fat neutralizes acids. In this way the dangerous acids become isolated from the rest of the body and the major organs such as our heart, kidneys; liver and lungs are protected. The more the acid we are accumulating the more fat your body will need to maintain.

So are you overweight or are you over acidic? My own personal experience was that I lost 35 lbs. in 8 weeks simply by transitioning to an alkaline lifestyle. My wife also lost 35 lbs. in 8 weeks.  To learn more you can read “The pH Miracle For Weight Loss” by Dr. Robert Young. You can read my wife’s personal testimony and see her photos on page 109.
